Every year as spring arrives, the flowers growing in full bloom never fails to lift my mood up high. Gone are the gloomy days and it's definitely the time of the year for me to whip out my florals and brightly coloured pieces which I had been saving up from my constant purchases throughout the year. I'm sure almost everyone had a piece in their wardrobe where they're just finding the perfect excuse to wear and I'm clearly not an exception to that as well! I've purchased this fluffy sleeved top two years back thinking how unique the sleeves just are. With that voluminous feature on my knit top, it's best to bear in mind that you want to keep the other part of the outfit sticks close to your body as the top itself has contributed the much needed volume of an outfit. Going with the[...]

Living in a city far away from home, a slower paced one to be exact, I managed to squeeze some personal time by myself just wandering through the streets in Perth. Drowning myself in its beauty at sunset that I wouldn't be able to observe on my usual busy mundane routine, it's only then I will be able to take a breather and just listen to the rhythmic waves that hits against the shore like the pulses of a beating heart. To be able to witness this and capture its beauty (though I would say that it is much more beautiful to see it with your own eyes, and a pair of glasses in my case haha!), I couldn't be more thankful for being able to live in this city for the last few years. It is this year that I realised how much I have grown mentally and also spiritually as a person. I would nev[...]

How is everyone out there enjoying their long weekend (for those in Australia) or Monday? Waking up this morning wishing how blissful it will be to have a three day weekend every single week. For awhile now, I have been crossing the lines experimenting with various looks and pieces in the hopes of achieving a look with a strong urban cool sense of style. I have to admit that I was probably watching too much of Step Up series which could potentially be one of the main reason that sparked off this idea. But then again, it's always nice to give yourself a challenge to match the available pieces from your wardrobe to put a new look altogether! For this look that I put on, I thought of keeping it simple by pairing a warm down vest which my mum had gotten me from Uniqlo and a print[...]

As far as I can go back to the memories etched in my mind, the only time I really enjoyed watching fireworks on New Year's Eve was back in the days when we celebrated entering into the new millenium. That was probably one of the biggest events then and, that's also when the trend of putting fireworks on every new year eve begins. It's funny how the years after just do not bring as much excitement like the last one and consequently, making the annual fireworks just another publicity event solely for publicity purposes. That being said, I'm only referring to the ones in Malaysia as far as I am aware of. But then again, I guess that's just one of the way things work and it also boils down to the individual him/herself on how to turn just another event into a night to remember with just a [...]

What better way to end the last day of the year with a bang other than to spend the day seeing all things bright and shiny. And to make it even more obvious, where else in Melbourne would you be able to find a beach lined with brightly coloured huts none other than the Brighton Beach! It was quite a bummer at the same time that the owners of the cafe have decided to take a rest on the last day, because I was looking forward on going to Mart 130 for a nice brunch! Plus, it wasn't really helping when our next random pick of cafe was closed as well. I guess it's true what they've say, 'Third time's the charm' when we stumbled upon Inkr7 Bar and Grill. We were famished by the time we found ourselves seated, the aroma coming from the open kitchen was simply testing o[...]

This might probably sound shallow to some but I absolutely adore all the movies and drama series that revolves around styles. It's how they show an individual's characteristic through the means of clothing and exaggerates it, and I really like that. Consequently, it got me thinking that, why shouldn't we make a statement and express ourselves that way by going all out, just because. And that's exactly what I did on the fifth day of our Melboure Trip where we've planned on heading to the parks and doing a whole bunch of sight seeings. I don't think it's weird or ever wrong if you just want to go to the park in a dress that makes you feel like a ball of fluff! It's funny because when we started our morning by meeting Valerie, the only thing that came of her first mouth before ev[...]

Well, all I can say is, you know that tiny obssesion that Belle from Beauty and the Beast has with books and libraries, the majestic architecture and the whiff of smell you get from the old pages? We had that exact same feeling on the forth day of our trip when we stepped into Melbourne's National Library. It was a day of getting to know Melbourne city itself a little more by visiting most of the famous spots that we heard of greatly. Not forgetting, it was also a day to shop. We headed to the State Library the very first thing in the morning, to avoid the 'crowd' because we thought that it might be a litte too loud with our cameras' shutter noises. It was a tad bit daunting when we have to pass by some security personnel before getting into the main hall, because as muc[...]

There is a saying that goes by 'everything changes when the night falls'. I can say that Melbourne city is living up to that phrase without a doubt in mind. I didn't know how many times have I repeated this to both Joanne and Boon Hee, but oh yes, they have to bear with my constant squirms of how I feel so alive whenever I walk the streets of Melbourne. Isn't the view behind just breathtaking? It's been a long time since I've surrounded myself with skyscrapers and I truly missed being the city girl at heart. We both got a change of outfits after Mount Dandenong to get all sparkly for a night of fun and adventure! Prior to that, we had dinner at Madang that was tucked hidden at a corner, and knowing that Joanne was with us, Korean food was definitely inevitable. :razz: [...]

You would think that we will be spending our entire time in the city when we're in Melbourne. But when the third day of our trip came, we've conquered the marvellous picturesque city, had our fair share of the breezy ocean and breathed the crisp luscious air of Melbourne's hillside. While we were on our way back to Melbourne from the Great Ocean Drive the day before, Boon Hee (our nicest host in Melbourne) rang Joanne and asked if we would love to join his family for a day at Mount Dandenong! Without a doubt, we didn't give it a pass and went for it although we didn't know exactly where that's supposed to be but OKAY, LET'S GOO!!!! The only description that we have of this place was that everybody comes here for scones and jam at Miss Marples' Tea House! An hour drive out fro[...]
